The courses for the Graphic Design certificate are offered in the 16-week daytime schedule at the Lake Shore Campus.

The Certificate in Graphic Design is a course of study for anyone interested in learning design concepts, improving design skills, or exploring the rapidly changing area of design and computer graphics. The certificate offers both conceptual and technological training needed to pursue a career in the field and is suitable to returning students with or without college experience or art backgrounds.
